My partner and I have just returned from a wonderful week at Brambles and highly recommend the accommodation to anyone looking for a cosy retreat in the country, with good access to major road and rail connections to make it easy to explore the wider area. Brambles is excellently appointed, spotlessly clean and toasty warm, and the bathroom has a fantastic shower! Washing machine and dryer came in very handy too.

There was plenty of room for us with a large living / dining / kitchen space and my father stayed for three days in the single room and found it very comfortable. The attic room is also very cute if you have children who are okay to climb a loft ladder.

With wonderful views over the neighbouring fields, we spent much of our time watching the horses, squirrels, birds and the occasional fox go about their daily business. No need for a television with live action outside, but a large LCD set and DVD player is available if you need.

The owner is a true gem and provided us with a lovely welcome treat and was always available to answer questions and provide suggestions on the best restaurants around (of which there are many).

I really hope we can go back one day.

Spotlessly clean, superbly equipped; everything we needed for our holiday was provided. Well situated. We've been on many cottage holidays over the years, and it was one of the best. Very warm welcome from the owner: she made sure we knew she was available if we needed her, but then left us alone to enjoy our holiday. We would thoroughly recommend it.

An idyllic place to stay. Peace and quiet with beautiful views but places to eat and shops all close by. The cottage is very clean and modern with a very comfy bed and an impressive shower. Plenty of places to visit and good places to eat within easy reach. Thank you to Carol & Doug for the lovely welcome basket (homemade bread included) and for making us feel at home. We look forward to our next visit.

Massive thanks to Carol and Doug. Fresh homemade bread in the welcome pack was well received along with exceedingly good cakes, fresh orange juice and tea n coffee. Picturesque views were breathtaking. Barn is elegantly decorated to perfection. The horses were very friendly and enjoyed the bag of carrots we bought for them. Will definitely be back. I don't write reviews but this was worth taking my time to do so. Highly recommended.

You can not get a better cottage holiday than stay at Brambles. We had thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brambles. We will have no hesitation to recommend this place to our friends. The management has been very helpful.

The cottage was spacious and quality was excellent.

There is simply no words to describe this place. Beautiful location beautiful interior and exterior. As for the property owners I saw very little of them but what I did see there were a lovely friendly accommodating and had customer service down to a fine art !!!! I booked this as a valentines gift to my partner as a surprise and he sure was, he loved the comfort the privacy and the fact it was not a far drive from London, we were even able to stop and shop at Bichester village before we got there and on the way back lucky me !!!!

This property is finished to a high standard and I feel the pictures can not do this place justice. The price was amazing and I will definitely be visiting this place again.

Don't hesitate book today

As all the other reviews have stated so far, Brambles is absolutely excellent. Everything you need to a high standard (42"TV, digital shower, electric lazy boy recliner etc.) and in a beautiful location (an elevated position enables rolling countryside views across the back garden). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone.
